Can anyone tell me the name of this story?

Question

I read this story in 5th grade and loved it but I can't remember the name of it. Heres a description of it.

There was a elderly lady who lived in China and for week/months (I'm a lil rusty on the story so bare with me) she weeved a beautiful tapstre. She would not sleep or eat until it was finished, her hands bleed and her eyes became puffy from the smoke of the candle because she would stay up all night to work. Finally she finished and she slept and eat and took pride in the blanket. Then one day the wind blew the blanket away to the mountains. The women became very ill and the only way for her to get better was to get the blanket back. She called to her oldest and second oldest to retreive it but they took the bribe of the man by the mountain. But the youngest did not. He had to get threw the lake of fire and the lake of icce without making a sound or a whimper in pain. Thats as much as I can recall, I'm surprized that I remembered that much. Hope my description helped.

Answer 1

It's called "The Magic Tapestry" though I also found a retelling of it online titled "The Magic Brocade". I found quite a few sources for it, but if you want the basic story and don't care if some of the details are a little off, I would recommend "The Crystal Mountain" as retold by Ruth Sanderson.

The Magic Tapestry

By Demi, Henry Holt and Co., 1994.

This is the story of a poor widowed woman who had a special gift for weaving beautiful tapestries. Her three sons supported the family by cutting wood while she spent all her time weaving a beautiful tapestry with flowing streams, fish, animals and flowers. Her work on the tapestry was finished at the end of three years. One day as the sons were arguing about the tapestry a gust of wind carried it out the window and off into the eastern sky. One by one the three sons journeyed to retrieve the tapestry. At a mountain pass each son had to choose between completing 4 difficult tasks or taking a box of jewels. The first two sons took the jewels and went off to the city. The youngest son completed the dangerous tasks and was whisked to a palace at the top of Sun Mountain. There he found three fairies weaving copies of his mother's tapestry that hung from the wall. He stayed the night and woke to find the fairies gone and the tapestry rolled up next to him. Soon he started for home, again completing the 4 difficult tasks, carrying the tapestry and thinking of one particular beautiful fairy. His mother was overjoyed at seeing him and the tapestry. As he rolled it out on the grass it surrounded them and became their environment. At that moment the animals and flowers came to life and the beautiful fairy he desired stepped out of the tapestry. And you know the rest.....the young couple became man and wife.
